General Counsel

Our mission
We're making Africa the first cashless continent.
In 2017, nearly 60% of adults in sub-Saharan Africa had no bank account. That's for good reason—the fees are too high, the closest branch can be miles away, and nobody takes cards. Without access to financial institutions, people are forced to keep their savings under the mattress. Small business owners rely on lenders who charge extortionate rates. Parents spend hours waiting in line to pay school fees in cash.

We're solving this by building financial services that just work: no account fees, instantly available, and accepted everywhere. In places where electricity, water and roads don't always work, you can still send money with Wave. In November 2017, we launched a mobile app in Senegal for cash deposit, withdrawal, and peer-to-peer and business payments. In 2019, we expanded to Cote d'Ivoire. Now we have millions of users and are growing fast. Our goal is to make Africa the first cashless continent. And that's where you come in...

How you'll help us achieve it
We’re looking for a General Counsel who can build Wave’s legal team, processes and systems as we rapidly scale our business across Africa. You’ll be responsible for establishing a dynamic legal team that supports the ranging needs of different business units from public policy to on-the-ground operations across Africa.


In this role, you'll:
- Build, manage and scale Wave’s legal team across multiple countries, including identifying the optimal structure, hiring the teams needed and leading the team as Wave grows into new markets.
- Design and shape processes to define the legal team’s role and execute efficiently in meeting the business’ dynamic needs.
- Work closely with all teams at the company to build solutions to complex problems that are compliant with applicable laws and regulations.
- Ensure Wave is well-represented in each country where it operates by overseeing external legal hiring.
- Responsible for all legal matters, including reviewing and drafting agreements and policies as needed and responding to complex legal challenges.
- Proactively engage and work alongside local regulators across multiple countries.
- Be the point of escalation for all legal matters and advise the executive team on all strategic legal aspects.

- Experience working in both US and African legal environments
- Excellent leadership skills. Have led a legal team of at least 8 people at a global company.

- Optional - Demonstrated legal experience across employment, litigation, regulatory, policy, and compliance matters
